If you won the lottery...

Let's say there's a lottery worth a crazy amount of money. You win. (I've decided 395 million will be the pot) What are you going to buy?

I would buy the nicest possible truck with every bell and whistle and Pollard around the country all season with a sled or two. Expand my quiver to cope with pretty much every type of condition ever. And lastly, all the sweet sweet sativa dominant ganja I can get my hands on. How about you?

Yes. But I just remembered seeing a video with him and his truck and thought that maybe someone would know what I'm babbling about. :p

assuming you get like 170 mil after tax and lump some.....put 50 mil in the bank. Invest 120 mil. Make relatively safe investment try to get like 4 percent back on my money a year. Make 5-6 mil a year on interest.
Buying a jeep grand cherokee laredo with leather.
Buying an audi r8 spyder v10

taking all my bros on a rediculous vacation to some sick exotic place

i would:

donate a bunch to charities
give some to my family (mainly to may big sis, so i can build a house for her to live in and so we can pay for people to look after her.)
then i would buy a yacht
by a chalet/ chalet chain in france or switzerland
then i would buy a heli skiing company in canada/ create a heli skiing company
and save the rest for when im old so can buy a bad ass house.

i would make more money from renting the chalet and form the heli skiing company.

trust me i have thought about this.

Donate like 50 million, give a million to each of my family members and maybe a few friends, then buy all the skiing stuff I've ever wanted, A Subaru WRX, a Koenigsegg CCXR, New house in the mountains, any other items I've ever wanted, season pass to various mountains, buy assloads of Saga and Jiberish, go to COC or Windells every summer, travel the world to go skiing.

Like said early you get half of that after tax. So I would invest 100 mil in a safe bond. Then I would give some to family. Buy me a new truck a beautifull cummins engine, and a brand new 48 foot toy hauler with a sleeper in the front. Also throw in a sand rail. And my dune dream would come true.

Being in Canada, I'd lose none to tax. Donate a bunch to charity and families and friends. Probably have a house in the alps with an Audi RS4 in the garage. Then probably build up my house and property in Golden, BC, have a Tundra in that garage, with a sled in the back and a husky. And I'd ski everyday with all my friends and family.

For the money you could buy mountain with you could probably just get season passes everywhere worth it. I invest a ton, save a bunch, set my family well off.

Lake house
Mountain house
House

The toys would be endless

if you won 395 million dollars, all you would buy is a decked out truck, a bunch of skis and a few sleds? you can do that with about 100 grand, probably less.

buy a bunch of townhomes in summit county and eagle county. rent them out. get a construction company to take away trees and set up an entire mountain just for park and have only certified park skiers (yes by registering for a pass) no gapers in the landings or going off lips for rails. then for me only build a cabin on top of a huge garage with vehicles such as: Aston Martin DB2, Aston Martin DB5, Aston Martin DB6, Aston Martin AMv8, Aston Martin V8 le mans, Aston Martin Vanquish S, Aston Martin DBS, Aston Martin DB9, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Aston martin v12 Zagato, Aston Martin One-77, Ferrari 250 GTO, Ferrari 360 Challenge, Ferrari 430, Ferrari 430 Scuderia, Ferrari FF, Ferrari F40, Ferrari enzo, 1971 Nissan Skyline, R34, R35, Lancia Delta Integralle, Lancia Stratos, Subaru impreza 22b, Subaru impreza wrx xti 05, Honda NSX-R, Honda S2000 CR, etc

Okay lets say 200 million after taxes.

100 million straight into the bank. As said before would earn 4-6 million per year on interest.

Would invest probs 5 million with the help of a good friend of mine.

so i have

95 million left over.

Two Houses, one in Park city or Whistler. Like a nice 2-3 million dollar house.

Then one in New Zealand or Austria. Again, a nice 2-3 million dollar home.

Furnishing for both houses. I could finally get a nice drive way/ pool/ urban set up in the back. MMMMM

You know the "jeep" mercades, well one of those, always wanted one.

Click for larger image


Then a 1970 Plymouth Superbird. ALWAYS fucking wanted one, ALWAYS. This is what "The King" is in Cars. Petty drove one. And there are like less than 800 in the world. And in yellow, always wanted it in yellow.

Click for larger image

Then a Lamborghini custom, blah blah blah.

A shit ton of ski gear, Finally a full quiver.

Season passes for resorts around the world.

After that, i think i'd be set. OH SHIT

EVERY JIBERISH PIECE THAT WOULD DROP.

I'd buy myself a couple of clones... like in that movie "the island" with Ewan McGregor. So everytime I need a new ACL or shit, BAM!, getting a perfectly new one.

But seriously, I'd probably give most of it away to whatever I think would be a good idea to do. Murdering some people the world doesn't need, investing shitload in the environment and probably found myself a charity company you could actually trust.

well i definitely wouldn't need that much money so I would probably give away 100 mil and keep maybe 25m, move out west, get a nice house for $700,000 and raise a family in the mountains. I'd say 25 is plenty to live comfortably and not have to worry about work or college for my kids. basically i would be living my dream without having to lift a finger.

I would buy nice houses around the world. Whistler, Tofino, A few in europe, Indonesia, Central America, Australia etc. Then I would buy a nice superyacht with a heli pad and an Astar. That yacht would probably mostly chill around the pacific coast of north america so I could take it heli skiing. I would spend the rest of my days skiing, surfing and entertaining ladies.

I would put half in the bank first off. I would also pay for all of my immediate families debts and future school loans. I would also become a large shareholder of a ski company and help run it for the sake of it being fun. Finally I would move to lake Tahoe California, build the house I've always wanted and buy a fully loaded jeep wrangler, subaru sti limited, and a toyota tundra.

I would invest half of it so I can get even more in the future years.
Buy a big big house where all my family and friends could live and build a backyard Mega SuperPark Andreas Hatveit style (but in better).
Probably buy a lot of other little things but those two are the two main things I'd buy.

1) Buy my parents whatever the fuck they want (probably a jeep for my mom and a new boat for my dad)
2) buy a minivan and pimp the shit out of it, I fucking love minivans (obviously not looks wise but they're just badass cars)
3) Condo in Aspen
4) New boots
5) pow setup
6) new park skis
7) windells/COC with my friends all summer
8) new clothes.
9) Charity (brain cancer for a friend who died, and others)
10) take a trip to Africa to chill out with the little kids and try to do some good.
11) plane tickets for my brother to see his friend in Utah.
12)Invest.


I doubt that's even a million right there....fuck it'd be awesome to have that money.
